    Tina S from Montevallo, AL does not recommend this vacation rental.

    Needed dusting. Dust was thick in bathrooms. Blankets were stained. Stove drawer fell off when we opened it and was hard to fix. Air did not seem to work properly. The sliding door in the front bedroom did not work. The closet door in the master bedroom was off the hinges and did not work. None of the bedrooms tv remotes worked. All
    If the light bulbs were unscrewed and had to be screwed in before we could turn on the lights. Master Barron sink molding was falling
    Off. Stains/dirt in the shower. Some of the dishes looked dirty and not well cleaned. We battled Fruit flies/nats the whole visit. Saw a few roaches upon arrival.

    a guest from Florence, AL does not recommend this vacation rental.

    When we arrived, was little disappointed... but i should have read little further down on previous reviews. Furniture is outdated, refrigerator still making noise like it’s about to take off, ceiling paint peeling off in multiple rooms, balcony door in bedroom was stuck and would not open, was difficult to unlock the front door with the keys. The floor and bathrooms were clean but that was about it. Everything else had dust and the remotes were sticky dust. Apparently these have all been previous complaints and is still an issue. I got woke up at 130 one morning with kids playing in the pool, yelling and laughing. The pool was closed but apparently the rules didn’t matter. Tried calling security to report and no one would answer. I just wanted sleep.
    The beach and outdoor area were awesome. We loved the pool, property is really close to the beach so didn’t have to walk far. Not sure i will book this location again as these have been complaints in the past and havne’t been fixed.

    This year was just okay! Too much construction with not much privacy. Should have had a discount. Lock on door should be replaced. Hard time getting in and out. Also refrigerator has a lot of problems. Did have a few other concerns that were corrected while we were there. We will be returning next year for 2 months..

    Amy D from Northport, AL does not recommend this vacation rental.

    Arrived to a dirty condo. Very dated. The condo is very close to the beach which was great for my 76 year old mother. We came to the beach not to clean but relax and unfortunately that wasn't the case. My mom hasn't been to the beach in 10 years and this was her surprise trip. I contacted rental agency and received a response the next day after we had to clean. Still waiting on the correct "department" to contact me. Although the walk to the beach was very short which was great. Security guards are so friendly. Check in process was very easy.

      This guest was not pleased with the housekeeping upon her arrival. She contacted our closed office the evening of her arrival and we immediately contacted her the next morning, when the office opened at 8 am. We apologized that the condo was not up to par and offered to send a new housekeeping team to reclean, but she refused housekeeping to come out and remedy the issue. -Gulf Shores Rentals

    Gina Z from Waupun, WI recommends this vacation rental

    The view alone is worth the stay! The VRBO offered plenty of space for our family. I was happy to find the space was clean. I also felt more relaxed because the VRBO also had a "lived in" feel so I didn't feel so anxious about every little movement afraid of leaving marks on the floors or walls. The Master Bedroom, the bed was fine, the bathroom was wonderful, I would recommend some darkening shades because the light outside the balcony keeps the room illuminated all night and the sun shines in first thing. The appliances in the kitchen could use some TLC but we were not on vacation for a renovated kitchen. The access to the beach and pool were really convenient. We found a bin in the parking garage of beach play stuff to use like buckets and shovels. I would also recommend upgrading to a keycode vs a physically key to get into the door.

    Tina W from Drakesboro, KY does not recommend this vacation rental.

    Check in was so easy, as well as the online checkout. The location could not be any better. Mere feet from the pool and beach. With that being said, the unit itself is very outdated and needs an extensive cleaning. The toilet was stopped up in the master bath. Took two trips by maintenance. The appliances need to be replaced. The dishwasher is rusted and eroded. The drawer in the refrigerator broke and could not be used. The stopper for the sink did not work well at all. The furniture needs to be updated badly. It is definitely old and not very comfortable. I would stay at Ocean House again, just not this unit.

    Kim W from Marion, IL does not recommend this vacation rental.

    The property location is outstanding. With that said, we would not choose this condo again nor would we recommend it. Two of the three bathrooms appeared clean. The master bath definitely was not. It visibly did not look clean and smelled of urine. I cleaned it. Also, the master bedroom faces the road which is very bright at night. The curtains were paper-thin making it seem like daylight throughout the night. The other issue is that most of the property is extremely outdated with a few exceptions. The appliances are chipped and rusting out. Most of the furniture appears to be 20 years old or more. I realize this is someone's personal property and they have every right to maintain it as they wish. However, when guests pay $2600.00 a week for a rental it seems more attention should be given to the unit. I was pleased with the service from Gulf Shores Rentals but will check into the property more carefully before booking in the future.

      We hate to hear you did not feel your unit was clean upon arrival. We have housekeeping teams that will come out if you don't feel the unit is up to par. Next time, please reach out to us so we have a chance to resolve issues. -Gulf Shores Rentals

    Cecil C from Sherwood, AR does not recommend this vacation rental.

    The condo needs some major TLC. It has not been updated in years. The appliances are old (the fridge doesn’t close well). The furniture is stained, bedding old. It is not being cleaned well (there were cookies and other food items under tables and chairs. I did a thorough cleaning when we arrived. The dryer has several settings that don’t work. Kitchen not well equipped and the silverware looked dirty. We washed before using. The container silverware housed in dirty. We were reluctant to use any dishes. The condo was roomy and the view wonderful. The air conditioner worked ok.
